The Ultimate List of Podcasts for Kids
Originally published: July 23, 2019
Updated: October 31, 2025 (A lot has changed in podcasting!)
Within the first week or two of coaching parents, the topic of screens inevitably comes up. Heck, the topic comes up any time I talk to parents. Sometimes I feel like technology is really messing with childhood.
And here’s what I’ve discovered: high screen use (iPads, video games, iPhones) is one of the biggest culprits behind kids’ behavioral struggles. Research is finally catching up and telling us what’s really going on. The problem isn’t necessarily the technology, it’s that it’s built to be addictive and our kids’ brains are majorly under construction.
The behaviors I’m talking about are the meltdowns, defiance, emotional dysregulation, the inability to focus, and the constant “I’m bored” complaints. The kids who can’t seem to sit still at dinner, in a classroom (which, really, kids aren’t built to do anyway), or engage in a conversation without reaching for a device.

Sound familiar?
When I work with families, one of the first things we tackle is creating a plan to reduce screen time significantly. For kids under 12, I often recommend eliminating iPads altogether because of what we now know about how constant stimulation affects developing brains. (I’ll dive deeper into this in another post!)
But here’s the thing: you can’t just take screens away and expect everything to magically improve.
As I talked about in 5 Simple Screen Time Rules That Actually Work, you need to replace the quick dopamine-inducing activity that is meeting some kind of need with a slow(er) dopamine-inducing activity.
My son created a Screen Time Menu with a ton of activities so he can go to that instead of asking me. You can download that here!
Something else I HIGHLY recommend to parents looking for a solution to the screen time issue is:
Podcasts for kids!
Your child’s brain can still get overstimulated by listening too much (or doing anything too much, probably), but it engages their imagination and activates different parts of the brain that are beneficial to learning and development. Podcasts for kids also hold their attention and don’t necessarily overactivate the nervous system.
Win, win, and win!

How We Discovered the Magic of Podcasts
Back in 2018, we stumbled upon our first kids’ podcast almost by accident.
We were on a long car ride and the boys were getting on each other’s nerves. There was a lot of yelling, whining and behaviors that I just didn’t want to deal with while driving. I mean, I needed to focus on the road!
I was desperate.
Someone had mentioned kids’ podcasts in a Facebook group, so I pulled one up on my phone and hit play.
And just like that? Magic.
The car went quiet. It was a peaceful, engaged, genuinely-interested kind of quiet.
From that moment on, we were hooked, and I began to use podcasts for a lot of different reasons. Not only did it keep my kids quiet, which is a huge bonus, but it also opens up discussions for us to connect during and after. We laugh together and get to share interests in whatever we’re listening to.
Still to this day, when we’re in the car and especially if the kids are fighting, turning on a podcast always makes the ride more peaceful. It recenters our whole family in a way that honestly feels like a superpower I didn’t know I had. Sometimes, I can’t get to the podcast player fast enough. I’m still trying to remember to use, “Hey Siri.”
On our way to Zion National Park one year, we made it at least four hours without a single movie or handheld device. Just podcasts and “brain breaks.” No one even asked for a screen!
I’ve read extensively about brain development and how screens affect our kids. But seeing it in action is far greater than any book.
Watching how my kids act after listening to a podcast versus having a screen in front of their faces makes it crystal clear that their nervous systems aren’t getting overstimulated the same way. Their brains aren’t experiencing dopamine burnout.
Their brains are engaged, but calm.
Their imaginations are activated.
They’re learning and laughing leads to presence with each other.

The Cure for Boredom & Disconnection
Yes, podcasts for kids are a lifesaver when you need to avoid screens.
But what I didn’t expect was how they would become a tool for connection in our family and a way to fight boredom.
We don’t just listen. We discuss.
“Did you hear that part about bats?”
“Wait, why did the character do that?”
“Can we look up more about that topic when we get home?”
Podcasts spark deeper conversations about who my kids are becoming. We dive into our family values, their curiosities, their sense of humor, their fears, and their dreams.
It’s a way to bond that doesn’t feel forced or like I’m prying information out of them.
The podcast does the heavy lifting, and we just… talk about it.
When we visited Kartchner Caverns for Earth Day one year, there were interactive booths set up by various science nonprofits. At one table, my boys started going on and on about the benefits of bats.
The woman running the booth looked at me with wide eyes and asked, “Are they homeschooled?”
I laughed because at the time, my boys just went to a traditional school.
“No, they just listen to a lot of podcasts and read a ton of books.”
Seeing their spark for curiosity and awe and wander, though, is what led our decision to pull them out of a traditional education environment and into microschooling and homeschooling.
Our family genuinely loves podcasts. We’re so thankful for all the creators who work hard to put amazing, thoughtful, educational content out into the world!

Why This Podcasts for Kids Guide Exists
When I first wrote this post years ago, there were some great podcasts for kids, but nothing like what exists today.
The options have exploded! I couldn’t fit them all onto the printable, but I loaded it with as many high-quality kid podcasts as I could find.
There are shows covering science, history, literature, storytelling, mindfulness, emotional intelligence, faith, music, current events, and so much more. There are podcasts for toddlers, elementary kids, tweens, and teens.
And beyond just podcasts, there are now incredible tools and platforms designed specifically to help kids listen without needing a smartphone (and all the distractions that come with it).
We use a Mini Yoto Player in our house, and there are other fantastic options like the Story Button and Toniebox. I’ll walk you through all of these below.

There are also dedicated kids’ audio platforms like Pinna (which we had a subscription to for years), Wondery Kids, and KidsCast that go beyond what you’ll find on Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music or Spotify.
This isn’t just a list of podcasts.
This is the ultimate guide to audio content for kids in 2025, and I’ll continue to update it for the years to come.
Whether you’re looking to reduce screen time, keep your kids entertained on long car rides, spark curiosity and learning, create bedtime routines that don’t involve devices, or simply give yourself a break without handing over an iPad, this guide has you covered.
Let’s dive in.
The Science-Backed Brain Benefits of Podcasts for Kids
Podcasts are free (mostly), accessible, and kids genuinely love them.
But beyond just being entertaining, there’s compelling research showing that listening to audio content, especially dramatized stories, can be incredibly beneficial for developing brains.
Let me break down exactly what’s happening in your child’s brain when they tune into a podcast.
How Podcasts Activate and Strengthen the Brain
Enhanced Neural Processing
Listening to a dramatized story activates and strengthens two distinct processing networks in the brain: one where speech is processed and another where speech and non-speech sounds are processed.
This dual activation means your child’s brain is working harder and building more neural connections than it would during passive screen time.
When kids listen to a podcast with sound effects, music, and varied voices, they’re not just hearing words. They’re processing layers of audio information simultaneously, which strengthens their auditory processing skills.

Building Vivid Mental Imagery
Here’s something fascinating: when podcasts include sound effects and music, kids create incredibly vivid images in their minds.
Compare this to watching a screen, where all the visual work is done for them, and fewer parts of the brain are actually activated.
Even reading, while wonderful, activates primarily the visual processing centers, which can result in fewer detailed images developing in the mind compared to listening.
When your child listens to a story about a dragon flying over mountains, their brain has to construct that entire scene. They’re deciding what the dragon looks like, how the mountains appear, what the sky looks like, and how the wind sounds.
That’s their imagination doing heavy lifting. And just like physical exercise builds muscle, this mental exercise builds cognitive strength.
Language and Literacy Development
Expanded Vocabulary Exposure
Kids are exposed to significantly more vocabulary and language through podcasts than they would be when only speaking or reading to themselves. When people read silently, they often skip over words they don’t know or skim past descriptions. But when listening, kids hear every single word, pronounced correctly, used in context.
They’re absorbing new vocabulary naturally, the same way they learned to speak as toddlers, through repeated exposure and contextual clues.
Improved Comprehension and Recall
Research shows that comprehension skills are often slightly better when listening to a story compared to reading one, with listeners able to recall more details.
This is particularly true for younger readers who are still building their decoding skills. When they’re not expending mental energy on sounding out words, they can focus entirely on understanding and remembering the story.
Gateway to Reading and Audiobooks
Podcasts can be incredibly motivating for reluctant readers.
If a podcast is humorous, engaging, or covers topics your child is passionate about, it can spark their interest and motivate them to read more about those subjects.
We found that dramatized podcasts were a natural stepping stone to audiobooks. Once our kids got hooked on story-based podcasts, transitioning to longer audiobooks felt effortless.
And here’s the reassurance many parents need: listening to audiobooks is just as beneficial to a developing brain as reading, especially for beginning readers. But as I mentioned, before, don’t overdo it!
Engagement and Learning Benefits
Making Learning Enjoyable
Let’s be honest: podcasts can be way more entertaining than reading a textbook or sitting through a boring school lesson. This matters tremendously for learning.
Research consistently shows that learning happens most effectively when kids experience enjoyable and relevant content. When kids are entertained, their brains release dopamine, which actually helps cement new information into long-term memory.
This is why my kids can rattle off random facts about bats, electricity, or ancient civilizations. My niece is brilliant at this with any podcasts about people. She can remember every detail and has been doing this since she was five or six.
Kids can learn facts without even realizing they are learning because they’re engaged and are having fun.
Accessible Learning for All Kids
For kids who struggle with reading, have learning differences, or experience car sickness when trying to read on the go, podcasts are a game-changer.
Listening to a podcast or audiobook keeps their brains activated and growing without the barriers that traditional reading might present. My middle son gets carsick if he tries to read in the car, but he can listen to a podcast or audiobook without the barf bag. He’s also learning and growing his brain the entire drive.
The Importance of Balance
One important caveat: while podcasts are fantastic, it’s still crucial to provide opportunities for your child to daydream and stare out the window.
Boredom is actually good for developing brains.
It allows kids to enter what neuroscientists call the “default mode network“, a resting state where self-reflection, creativity, and processing happen. I talked to Ned Johnson, co-author of The Self-Driven Chlid, about this when I co-hosted the KindlED podcast.
So yes, use podcasts strategically, especially during times when behavior is escalating or during long trips. But also protect some quiet, unstructured time where their brains can just… be.
Benefits of Listening to Podcasts
Podcasts offer a unique combination of benefits:
✓ Neural activation through dual auditory processing
✓ Imagination building through mental imagery creation
✓ Vocabulary expansion through natural language exposure
✓ Improved comprehension, especially for young or struggling readers
✓ Reading motivation by sparking curiosity and interest
✓ Joyful learning that sticks because it’s engaging
✓ Accessible education for all learning styles and abilities
These aren’t just screen-time replacements. They’re powerful tools for brain development, learning, and family connection.
A Safer Approach to Listening to Podcasts
A question I often get about podcasts is how to actually listen to them with kids.
Here’s my recommendation: skip the wireless headphones.
While Bluetooth headphones might seem convenient, there’s growing research about the potential effects of having Bluetooth signals so close to developing brains. The long-term impacts aren’t fully understood yet, and with kids, I’d rather err on the side of caution.
And honestly, when my kids use Bluetooth earbuds or earpods, they’re a lot crabbier! I don’t need research to back up what we experience. Ha!
Podcast Listening Devices for Kids
Wired headphones are my go-to when kids want individual listening. They’re just as effective without the Bluetooth concern, and they don’t need charging. Win-win.
I love these wired headphones! I have two pairs because I’m always losing at least one pair.
Here are dedicated audio players like what I mentioned earlier where your kids can listen to podcasts without needing to be on a cell phone!
- Yoto Player (what we use)
- Story Button
- Toniebox
These are seriously fantastic because they’re designed specifically for kids and don’t require any phone or Bluetooth connection. They also allow the kids to listen to other audio content. Plus, they give kids autonomy over their listening without handing them a device that can access everything else.
Speakers work great for family listening, especially in the car or during quiet time at home. Everyone hears the same thing, which often leads to those great conversations I mentioned earlier.
There are plenty of ways to enjoy podcasts safely!
Where and How to Listen to Kid Podcasts
The good news? Podcasts are available on pretty much every device you already own.
If you have an iPhone as I do, simply go to the Podcast App.
For Android users: Pocket Casts and Spotify both work great and are free to download.
Popular podcast apps include:
- Spotify (also has exclusive kids’ content)
- Pocket Casts
- Overcast
- Podbean
- PlayerFM
- Amazon Music Podcasts
Directly on podcast websites:
Most podcasts have their own websites where you can stream episodes directly without needing an app. I included the link to the website if I could find it in the list below, and on the printable you can download.
Kids Listen: A directory specifically for kids’ podcasts that makes discovering new shows easy.
Dedicated Kids’ Audio Platforms
Beyond traditional podcast apps, there are platforms designed specifically for children:
- Pinna | A subscription service ($7.99/month) with thousands of ad-free podcasts, audiobooks, and music for kids. It’s like a Netflix for kids’ audio content with curated playlists by age.
- Wondery+ | Offers kids’ content alongside adult podcasts, with ad-free listening and exclusive shows. ($5.99/month)
- KidsCast | A free app that curates safe, age-appropriate podcasts for children.
- FunKids Digital Radio and Online | A UK-based digital radio station and online platrform for children and families that offers a mix of music, stories and educational content.
- Minno | Christian content platform for kids ($10.99/month)
- Storypie | Storypie is an audio learning app where kids ages 3 to 12 hear
first-person stories from historical figures, inventors, and places around the world. With 73,000+ stories in 27 languages and built-in comprehension questions.
Subscribe or Follow to Shows
You can either download specific episodes you want to listen to, or you can subscribe to or “follow” a podcast.
When you subscribe, new episodes automatically download as they become available. This is helpful for ongoing shows that your kids love, so you never miss an episode.
Most podcast apps let you customize settings like download over wifi only, automatically delete old episodes, or get notifications when new content drops.

The Best Listening Times For Kids:
These are the times that we have found work best to listen to podcasts:
- After a long day at school
- Car rides longer than 15 minutes
- During carpool! Who else enjoys a quiet car on the way to school?
- Before bed
- At a time of chaos. This is usually when I suggest they listen to a podcast and guess what, it calms the intensity almost instantly!
Listener Involvement
Another reason why I love kid podcasts is how they encourage listener involvement.
Every podcast does it differently. Often times, the host requests that kids send in pictures, ideas, questions or stories. My kids love discussing their ideas.
For example, Story Pirates has a Creators Club with extra perks and bonuses, and Wow in the World has the World of Organization of Wowzers (W.O.W.)
I always say that the best parenting tool is open communication. As kids get older, the words typically get fewer (especially with boys), so if there’s a topic we can talk about, I’ll take what I can get.
I’m thankful the podcasts open this opportunity up for our family.

My Family’s Favorite 10 Podcasts for Kids
Over the past two years, we have found a few gems that my kids absolutely love! Below are descriptions of our top 10 podcasts with our favorite episodes (if applicable as some of the podcasts are continuing stories).
In addition to our favorites, I compiled a list of every relevant kid podcast I could find and created a printable for you.
1. Brains On
This is the very first children’s podcast we found and I’m so happy we did. The host, Molly Bloom, is joined by a kid co-host every episode so they can answer questions about the world.
It’s filled with really fun dramatic stories, expert interviews, sound effects, and thoroughly researched topics. We have learned so much about our world such as why we fart (always a kid favorite, right?), how the skin heals, emotions, animal and insect behavior, technology and electricity. My kids love their catchy songs, too.
A Few of our Favorite Episodes:
- All about Feelings series
- The Science of the Sleeping Brain
- The Scoop on Journalism
- Electricity series (The songs are super fun!)
- The Tick-Tock of Our Circadian Clock
2. The Alien Adventures of Finn Caspian

This is a must-listen! Written and produced by the author, Jonathon Messenger, the listener is taken on a journey with a space explorer, Finn, his robot, sister, friends, and family. There are many references to Children’s Literature woven throughout the episodes in the character names, places, and actions. Love!
What’s great about this podcast is that it goes in chronological order. Start with Season 1, Episode 1 to get started. Because of the format, it’s like listening to a really long movie that keeps getting better and better. Johnathon does an incredible job writing and telling the stories with a few sound effects and old school video game sounding music.
In addition to the actual story, this podcast has an opening bit (I’m not sure what the technical term is!) with a very funny robot named Bee Bop. He even has his own set of episodes called, “Bee Bop Tales” in the “off-season”. My boys wait with great anticipation every time a regular season ends.
3. Wow! In the World

Hands down, the hosts of this show, Guy Raz and Mindy Thomas, are on a mission to save the world through our kids. Where do I even begin? From the incredible editing of sounds that literally make you feel like you are in the story to the topics they cover, I feel like this podcast has increased my kids’ intelligence. And if I’m being completely honest, mine too! Ha! For real though, it’s amazing.
And besides it being extremely educational, it’s absolutely hilarious. I still hear my kids singing, “Who let the frogs out?” Like daily.
They take new research in the world of science putting fascinating concepts in front of kids. The character development of the two main characters makes it very easy to find every episode hilarious. You just fall in love with Guy and Mindy. There are so many little idioms that we repeat often.
Some of Our Favorite Episodes:
- G-Force Vs. Wasabi: How The Brain Registers Pain
- An UnFROGettable Day at the Museum of Wow!
- Bored Out of Your Bonkerballs? Why Having Nothing To Do Can Be Good For You
- Recess 101
- 3D Printing the Future!
4. Story Pirates

When we first started listening to this podcast, my boys were hooked. We love their current format of having a continuing story of the Story Pirates on their ship that is woven throughout each episode within two adaptations of kid-written stories.
And the songs! Some of the stories are audibly acted out and others are made into original songs. This year, they even came out with their second album. Some of the songs are so catchy I find myself singing them.
In addition to the stories, they encourage kids to write their own stories with what they call, story sparks. The sparks are ideas for kids to build upon to create their own original story. It’s fun to hear what my kids come up with.
A Few of our Favorite Episodes:
- One Little Pink Rose / I Lost My Tooth In Hollywood
- The Quest for the Golden Banana / Pigduction
- The Wizard Who Could Just Go Poof
- Banana Clown
5. Smash Boom Best
This podcast is a spin-off from Brains On. It has quickly become a favorite. They debate two topics in a very entertaining way. The host is the same as Brains On, Molly Bloom. Each episode has two different debaters and a kid judge. You can tell they have a ton of fun from all the laughing in the studio. It surely translates into laughter in our car.
The debaters come up with incredible points that are set with sound effects, music, and humor.
My oldest really loves when they debate. He likes learning the different terminology and how to become a debater.
A Few of Our Favorite Episodes:
6. Circle Round
Although this podcast doesn’t have as many bells and whistles, it’s still very entertaining. The host, Rebecca Sheir, tells folktales from all around the world. In addition to Rebecca’s soothing narrator voice, Circle Round also brings on many notable people from screen and stage to provide voices for the characters.
The best part of this podcast is the great lessons each story teaches such as kindness, generosity, and perseverance. All the things that we need more of in the world. My kids also like to know where the story is from. It’s a great way to open a child’s eyes to more than the country he or she is from.
Some of Our Favorite Episodes:
7. Who, When, Wow Mystery Edition

We love this podcast, also from Tinkercast. The host, Carly Q, is a junior analyst at The Bureau of Universal Time Travel and Historical Exploration Department (yes, B.U.T.T.H.E.D!), secretly investigates history’s greatest mysteries by literally traveling through time.
Carly follows the facts to questions that may have no answers, taking young listeners along for the adventure.
With clever humor, engaging storytelling, and just enough silliness to keep kids hooked, this podcast makes history come alive in a way textbooks never could. New episodes air twice a month.
A few of our favorite episodes:
- Lost Dutchman’s Mine (because it’s in AZ!)
- Unclear About Shakespeare
- Roswell
8. Whose Amazing Life?

This brilliant podcast turns biographies into an interactive guessing game. Hosted by Virginia Madsen and Robbie Daymond, each episode tells the story of an inspiring person from childhood through their greatest achievements, but there’s a catch: you don’t find out WHO the person is until the very end!
My kids turn this into a competition to see who can guess the person first!
They listen for clues throughout the episode and call out their guesses. Even when they figure it out early, they’re still captivated by the story because they want to hear HOW this person got from their humble beginnings to becoming someone the whole world knows.
What I love most is how the show emphasizes perseverance, courage, and hard work.
9. Highlights Hangout

Do you like Highlights Magazine? I still remember the feeling I got when it arrived in the mail or I saw it at a doctor’s waiting room. Highlights Hangout is the podcast form of the magazine. The hosts, Tim and Juanita, are very enjoyable to listen to as they go through the different segments that are similar to what you can find in print.
This podcast is animated and edited very well with great music and sound effects. The episodes include skits, stories, riddles, jokes, and different characters from the magazine. They also sprinkle in a little extra fun with a hidden sound kids need to listen for and count up at the end.
Lastly, you can’t help but love the catchy theme song.

MORE Podcasts For Kids
I scoured the internet for other podcasts for kids. This list is even more comprehensive than what I could get ChatGPT or Claude OR Gemini AI LLMs to give me.
To be honest, there were too many to fit on a sheet of paper, so I went for shows that have a ton of episodes and/or are still producing episodes. Many stopped because it’s a lot of work to record and edit a podcast, especially one for kids with extra music, bells, and whistles, literally!
I listened to at least a portion of one episode from each podcast before adding it for you. A lot of these have great websites with additional information or activities for your kids.

Thanks so much for including Five Minutes With Dad on your list! We have some awesome episodes ready to publish as summer break comes to an end!
You are very welcome! I just found it when researching for this post. I’m sure my kids are going to love it!
Awesome! We’re honored and will give your site a shout out on a future episode!
Thank you!
This was a great resource and for our kids (7 and 10) that like the grimmer shows we highly recommend Grimm, Grimmer, Grimmest, Mars Patel and Unspookable.
Thank you! Mars Patel was a little too old for my younger kids and they’re usually all together in the car so we haven’t gotten into it. I haven’t heard of the other two. I’ll add them to the list!!
I had to tell you that my boys LOVE Grimm, Grimmer Grimmest and I don’t mind it either. We listen to it every day on the way to school so each episode usually lasts us about a week (it’s a quick drive). Thank you again for sharing!
Thank you for linking to April Eight Songs & Stories Podcast. I’m so glad you are listening!
Of course!
Great article and very informative. Thank you for adding our series Tara Tremendous to the list! We won the Parents’ Choice Gold Award for Best Podcast this past year. We’d also recommend The Owlsteins for younger listeners, and of course the adventures of the “misfit monster kids” Spooky Troop!

What devices would you recommend to allow the kids to play their own podcasts? I prefer to not give the kids the iphone and get distracted or be the main gatekeeper to the device.
Great question! We really like the Yoto player. My friend has a podcast (Bedtime Stories) and he has partnered with Story Button. Both of those are phone-free ways of listening to podcasts.
Thank you so much for this list! I’ve personally struggled with finding podcasts my kids enjoy and it takes so much time to search for what you are looking for. Saving this list for sure!
So happy to hear it’ll be useful!
Love this list! We are huge fans of Circle Round but there’s so many others I haven’t heard about.
I am blown away how much content you put into this one post! This is an incredible resource! Wow, thank you for it!!!
It’s a shame you don’t have a donate button! I’d certainly donate to this outstanding blog! I suppose for now i’ll settle for bookmarking and adding your RSS feed to my Google account. I look forward to fresh updates and will talk about this blog with my Facebook group. Chat soon!
